TMDS361PAG Video Switch IC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TMDS361PAG is a video switch integrated circuit designed for HDMI/DVI signal routing applications. It functions as a GPIO, I2C, and logic-controlled video switch supporting HDMI 1.3a standards in a 64-TQFP surface mount package. The main part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement. The TMDS361BPAG serves as the direct active substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current product availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TMDS361BPAG qualifies as a direct substitute for the TMDS361PAG based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical function as a video switch IC
• Matching HDMI 1.3a standard support
• Identical control interface specifications (GPIO, I2C, Logic)
• Matching supply voltage range (3.0V – 3.6V)
• Identical package and pinout (64-TQFP, 10x10mm)
• Identical surface mount mounting type
• Matching RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The primary distinction is product status: TMDS361PAG is obsolete while TMDS361BPAG is active, and packaging format differs (TMDS361PAG supplied in standard packaging versus TMDS361BPAG in tray packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TMDS361BPAG is the appropriate selection for new designs and component replenishment. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, control interfaces, and package configurations. The TMDS361BPAG offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and identical moisture sensitivity specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage protocols. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory requirements and supply chain availability, as electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMDS361BPAG replace TMDS361PAG in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 64-TQFP package pinout, supply voltage range, control interfaces, and HDMI 1.3a signal specifications are identical. Direct PCB substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between TMDS361PAG and TMDS361BPAG? A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. TMDS361PAG is obsolete; TMDS361BPAG is active. TMDS361PAG uses standard packaging while TMDS361BPAG uses tray packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences? A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the 64-TQFP package specification? A: The 64-TQFP (10x10mm) package defines the physical footprint, pin count, and thermal characteristics. Both parts use this identical package, ensuring PCB layout compatibility and reflow soldering parameters remain unchanged.

Q: Can supply voltage be adjusted for either part? A: No. Both parts operate within the specified 3.0V – 3.6V supply range. Operation outside this range is not supported and may result in component failure or signal integrity issues.
